PAT1M / PAT1.5M OPERATION MANUAL
POSSIBLE CAUSE
Cable tie in feeder hose when tool was
actuated or dispenser exit sensor is
not functioning properly.
A switch (button #1, 2, 3, 4, or the
trigger) was held down or was stuck
when the dispenser was turned "on".
This message will remain if one of
these five switches has malfunctioned.
Tool counter is not functioning
correctly.
Cable tie stopped in tool gears.
See Page 23.
POSSIBLE CAUSE
A. Tool tension setting is too low.
B. Operator holding tool at angle to
bundle.
C. Bundle exceeds .82" (21 mm) /
1.31" (33 mm) in diameter.
D. Tool is held away from bundle by
previously installed tie, harness
support, or other object on bundle.
E. Tool is pulled on as the tie is being
tensioned.
Tool tension setting is too high.
A. Tool tension setting too high for
humidity conditions.
B. Operator holding tool at angle to
bundle.
C. Tool is pulled on as the tie is being
tensioned.
D. Tool is held away from bundle by
previously installed tie, harness
support or other object on bundle.
A. Bundle exceeds .82" (21 mm) /
1.31" (33 mm) in diameter.
B. Cable ties are too dry and brittle.
C. Tool tension setting is too high.
D. Incoming air pressure is too high.
A. Cable tie path was blocked; bundle
against jaw tie track.
B. Air pressure is not set correctly.
CORRECTIVE ACTION
1. Resume operation.
2. If the same error is repeated, the exit sensor lens may be dirty,
or it may not be functioning properly.
3. Clean the exit sensor lens (Refer to the Cleaning the
Dispenser Exit Sensor Lens section on Page 26).
4. If the same error is repeated, notify your maintenance
department.
1. The message will disappear when the switch (button #1, 2, 3,
4, or the trigger) has been freed or released.
2. If the message does not disappear, then the specific switch
(button #1, 2, 3, 4, or the trigger) is bad. Contact your
maintenance department to have the switch replaced.
1. Press the "Yes" button and resume operation.
2. If the same error is repeated, notify your maintenance
department.
1. Press "Buzzer" button to turn buzzer "off".
2. Remove the cable tie from the jaw area.
3. Press the "Continue" button and resume operation.
See Page 23.
CORRECTIVE ACTION
A. Increase tool tension setting.
B. Hold tool perpendicular to bundle in both directions.
C. Dress the wires to result in a more compact bundle for the
specific tool being used.
D. Do not install cable ties too close to other cable ties, harness
supports or other objects on bundle.
E. Allow tool to seek its own position as the tie is being tensioned.
Decrease tool tension setting.
A. Decrease tool tension setting.
B. Hold tool perpendicular to bundle in both directions.
C. Allow tool to seek its own position as the tie is being tensioned.
D. Do not install cable ties too close to other cable ties, harness
supports or other objects on bundle.
A. Dress the wires to result in a more compact bundle for the
specific tool being used.
B. Store cable ties properly and use before expiration date.
C. Decrease tool tension setting.
D. Set air pressure between 65 and 85 PSIG (4,5 and 5,8 bar),
with a maximum 10 PSI (0,7 bar) drop.
A. DO NOT place bundle forcefully against jaw tie track.
B. Verify that air pressure is at 65 PSIG (4,5 bar) (minimum). Air
pressure can be increased by 5 PSI (0,35 bar) increments until
cable ties feed properly. Do not exceed 85 PSIG (5,8 bar)
(maximum).
